   Galvanized water pipe hum because they don’t know the words.

    

   Ok I know that was a bad one.

    

   Do you have a water softener? A softener cycling could be the cause of the noise.

    

   Also check to make sure any toilets are shutting COMPLETELY off when they are done filling. I see so many that let just a tiny trickle run constantly which will create a noise and transfer through the system at various times.

    

   But my money is on Calvin’s theory.

   Sometimes its the toilet.  The flapper has a slow leak and then the tank has to refill itself.  A loose valve  in the float fill will vibrate as it slowly closes off.

   Hey Thanks,

   That is a possibility as the toilet downstairs does have a leak! We shall look into it.

   Thanks Again.

   Back in the mid 1980's a number of people in the Sausalito area of California were complaining about an odd humming noise.  It turned out to be from a type of toadfish in the S.F. Bay.  The humming was a mating call of the male toadfish. 

   So maybe a bunch of horney fish have found there way into your water line...
